Did this bitch just say boyfriend?
This must be some sick joke. This can't be real. Not again..? Why am I so attracted to the fairies?
I'm pissed. I stare blankly at Wilson and Chris and attempt to make a connection on how this could possibly be true. They're holding hands across the bar and smiling at me.
"Darling are you alright?" He dares to speak to me.
"You're gay? But... I.." Here comes the stuttering.
"You didn't know? Oh honey, if you're gonna be living in the city, the gaydar needs to be turned on immediately." He sassed.
"Don't embarrass me. Reality has smacked me once again. I get it."
"What do you mean love?" The boyfriend speaks. I glare at him. Those better be his first and last words he ever says to me for the rest of his life.
"It's none of your concern." Without leaving my expresso, I try to get up but Jesse rises with me blocking my way to the exit.
"I don't think we got to properly meet. I'm Jesse." He says smirking at me.
He's wearing all white shell toe adidas, khakis rolled up twice at the bottom, a white V-neck, and a navy blue trench coat. His complexion compliments his outfit nicely. His hair is shaved on the sides and it's big and curly on top. One of those haircuts.
"Nice to meet you, Jesse. And I'm leaving." I said pushing past him.
"Your name love?" He asks desperately.
I turn my head to look at him. He looks like a lost puppy.
"Nala." I nearly whisper.
He smiles. "It's nice to meet you" I look at him then to lovely couple who stare at us worriedly, nod and leave before they can say anything else to me. I'm too livid and if I stay, I can see myself saying something I shouldn't.
I walk back to the car. I think I'm more mad at myself than I am anything. I literally just met this man 20 something hours ago and I'm pissed. He's great regardless but he couldn't be great and straight? I didn't mean to rude and leave so abruptly but I need to sit down and think for a second. I unlock the door to the Jeep and hop in the car and I want to scream but a sudden ding in the car from the door opening stops my psychotic thoughts.
"Hey.." Jesse says jumping in the passenger seat and closing the door.
"Hi, why are you in my car?" I ask almost hyperventilating by his actions.
"I really didn't want you to leave without knowing why we invited you to the café this morning."
"I don't need an explanation. But what I do need is some peace and quiet so I can try and understand why my..."
He shuts me up by kissing me. Oh fuck no. Why is kissing me? I don't know who this man is and his lips are on mine. I pull away and at this moment, I am fuming. I hop out the car, run to the other side, open the door and pull him out. I didn't realize my own strength until he hit the ground.
"Don't ever fucking try me like that again. You don't know me." I scream and I feel like the entire city of Manhattan can hear me but I don't give a single solitary shit. This pang feeling of embarrassment takes over me and I rush back in the car, put my keys in the ignition and drive off leaving Mr. Jesse on the concrete, confused. Bitch ass.
"What the fuck was that? I've been here for a day and I've encountered too many moments of affection with very strange men in less than 24 hours." I talk to myself like every normal person would do in their spare time on a morning like this.
You got yourself into this. You moved to this ridiculous city. My subconscious is cackling.
...
"How'd it go?" Cairo and Alice ask simultaneously. They look at me from the couch as I walk to the kitchen and pour what little is left of the coffee. "That bad, huh?"
I just nodded as I drink it black and walk to my room and shut the door. I don't even want to speak about the subject but they are persistent so I know I'll hear knocking in...
"Well, what the fuck happened? I'll beat his ass." Alice barges in my room, not knocking, taking me by surprise. I don't even mind.
"I really don't want to talk about it. I just need a second alone and I have to get ready for work tonight." I tell them both as I watch Cairo walk in rolling his eyes.
"You got work in seven hours. That gives us more than enough time to talk, honey. Spill all the tea." He says sassily emphasizing the word all. I just glare at them. I really don't feel like dealing with the repercussions of this conversation. It's going to back fire so hard. "C'mon it can't be that serious. What, is he gay?"
My brother always fucking knows.
I don't move from my position.
"Oh my. Not again..." Alice cracks a smirk sitting on my bed pulling me into her tight embrace. Cairo is shocked at his own knowledge and he flips his hair subtly changing his stance.
"Hold on. Because the real question here, sweetie, is Daddy single?" He has the audacity to spit out while I'm obviously stressed in my predicament.
"No you fuck-tard. His boyfriend's name is Chris, who he so happened to introduce me to this morning." I respond back annoyed.
"Wait so did he invite you to the café to meet his boyfriend?" Alice chimes.
"I actually don't know why he invited me to the café. I didn't give Wilson a chance to grant me that information. I just know that when I walked into the café, Wilson and I sat at the bar, ordered the usual. He told me he had someone he wanted me to meet. After, two fine young men walked out from the back and one of them happened to be Wilson's boyfriend. The other, Jesse, decided he wanted to make a move on me when I got in the car to come back home."
"Make a move?" Alice gets up like she has some place to go.
"OH NO. Not in my Jeep." Cairo say waving his right fist in the air like the flower he is.
"Yes. He kissed me and I pushed him off and kicked him out the car. Now I'm here talking to you fuckers about it."
Cairo is done listening to sob story about my gay experiences. He cracks a little smile, bends down and asks me quietly, "How is this really affecting you?"
